PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy the brother,

For I wish you to know what a conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,

Epaphras, who is of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always striving for you in prayers that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. For I bear him witness that he has great zeal for you and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.

And when this letter has been read with you, cause that it be also read by the church of the Laodiceans; and do you also read that from Laodicea.

saying, What you see write in a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamus and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write, These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God,
